I have the same issue. Is there any bypass? _setFile does not work for me because the developer have restricted the set option and a message comes that browse and select the file to upload. It can not be set.

Is there any way to automate this using sahi?
Can we call an external exe or program to do this?

Thanks,
Rahul

Hi iwx1,

Yes, you can modify any part of code in the application using sahi (by modifying methods & attributes of any object).

If your issue is same as Shipra then : It looks like a new window is opened when you click on Submit button. If that is the case, you need to add _popup("") before the steps that happen on the newly opened window.

Here is an example:

For more details about _setFile() have a look at :

Let me know if you face any problem.

Hi Shipra,

Pls try this ,

_setFile(_file("versionFile"),"path");

if (_isIE())
{
_call(_file("versionFile").outerHTML = _file("versionFile").outerHTML.replace(/type=file/, "type=text"));
}
else
{
_call(_file("versionFile").type = "text");
}
_setValue(_textbox("valueEditable"),"path");
_setValue(_textbox("name"), "File name");
_click(_button("Add"), "Add");

---

add or submit whatever is the import one.

try
{
if(_getCellText(_table("errorBox[1]")).indexOf("Error adding new item") > 0)
{
_navigateTo("path",true);

---

> path where you want to navigate
}
}
catch(e){}

"VersionFile" means, where u want to set the file. The Accessor name of that upload file button/Field.
